Slovenian Railway Museum - Uniforms

Uniforms

Uniforms, 'garments of honour', were introduced in the early days of the railways so the railway employees could be distinguished from passengers. They differed from company to company. In Slovenia, until 1952, they also indicated employees' rank. Until 1927, on special occasions, higher-ranking officials wore full-dress uniforms.

Railwaymen were always provided with the smaller items of equipment needed for their work. There varied little over the years.

Famous quotes containing the word uniforms:

    I place these numbed wrists to the pane
    watching white uniforms whisk over
    him in the tube-kept
    prison
    fear what they will do in experiment
